Release Date - 09.03.21
Stream - https://xyzlabel.lnk.to/Esperanca

RAMMÖ makes his debut on XYZ alongside a pillar of the label’s output thus far - Jim Rider. The ever-reliable London to Amsterdam connection is on full display, as the two prodangled uction partners conjoin their staples of sound, which have graced the likes of TRYBESof, Klassified, and Kindisch respectively. For their first project together, they’ve set sights on the bountiful borders of Brazil to form the backbone of influence and inspiration on the Esperança EP.

The A-side opens with rhythmic percussions setting an organic framework, while a round and punchy bassline welcomes electronic tones to the fore. Brazileiro vocal chops summon immense character as the track starts to swirl into a synth-laden groover. Resting perfectly at the centerpoint of modern dance touch and timeless musical homage, Esperança is an instant classic.

Stream & Purchase - https://ampl.ink/b10eE

As we venture towards the heart of summer’s conclusion, we are ecstatic to release one of the label’s favorite projects to date.

Mitch Oliver and Maaruo represent the thriving community of dance music in Montreal; a city also home to the When We Dip team, and a pillar of the creative direction behind the way we run the labels and media platform. As many have before them, the two were regulars on dancefloors across the city before moving into the studio and harnessing their love of electronic music as creators.

Each of the producers have made important strides in the early days of their solo careers, including Mitch’s EP on Magician on Duty and Maaruo’s remix of Budakid right here on XYZ. They’ve also found a distinct knack for partnership, as is evident in their joint track Corne Mistur which was released with Akbal Music.

Same Light will surely continue to turn heads and capture ears for the two Montrealers. It has that something special, an indescribable quality found in the tunes we love the most, no matter the genre. The all-Quebecois team for Same Light includes Beyries, one of the province's most beloved singer-songwriters. Her jaw dropping vocals glide naturally over the crisp arrangement from Mitch and Maaruo, harnessing melancholic prose of somber romance. Instrumentally, percussive flair and fluttering pads carry the words in perfect harmony; A tune that will write it’s own story. 

Hernan Cattaneo needs no introduction, as he’s a masterful figure within melodic music. A massive inspiration for Maaruo and Mitch, it’s an honor to have him a part of the project as he remixes Same Light with his comrade Martin Garcia. Cattaneo and Garcia lengthen the arrangement, bringing progressive and club-driven tones to the sultry vocals. A masterpiece from the maestro for late night affairs.

 Release Date - 10.16.20 
Stream & Purchase - https://ampl.ink/aZROP

Reimagining art is a difficult task. Taking a fully original vision from a fellow artist and twisting it into your own work presents a set of innate challenges. How do you pay the necessary homage to the originator, while also appeasing your artistic intuition? This is a question confronted by producers when pursuing the unique nature of the music industry’s most flexible assets - the remix.

Our Diversions series explores the diverse processes and influences that manifest during the remix process. Each release presents fresh takes on the label’s original productions by both XYZ stalwarts and newcomers alike. This series is a chance to connect artists from across the musical spectrum in the pursuit of unique and unexpected tracks.

Panthera Krause is a unique figure within dance music, with a sincerely warm energy and ear for timeless grooves. Through directing one of the most forward-thinking imprints in Europe, Leipzig-bred Riotvan, Krause has fostered a sound brimming with electro, disco, and punk influences. His house-centric productions have distinct flair for peak-time character; his smash hit, Birthday Club, was easily the song of the summer in 2019. For his debut on XYZ, he’s connected with Ian O’Donovan’s Sun. Panthera’s signature driving bassline rides the classical synth touches from Ian’s original for a dancefloor killer.

Death on the Balcony - Only Temporary EP [XYZ030]

For the 30th project on XYZ, a significant milestone for the imprint, we are thrilled to bring on Death on the Balcony for their debut EP with us. The British duo have crafted an immense reputation over the last decade for their ever-evolving style in the studio. Centered around laid-back house grooves and heady spoken word sampling, their recipe for blending classic hooks with innovative melodies has graced the likes of All Day I Dream, Kindisch, Suol, and Pets Recordings. Through the years, they continue to build upon an impressive catalogue teeming with character, and we are thrilled to connect with Mark and Paul on their latest material.

On remix duty, we are thrilled to welcome back Madraas. After launching onto the scene last year under a new guise, the Italian comrades have made significant strides through projects with TOR and All Day I Dream. They reform Up Side Down through added melodics, welcoming soaring strings and a pronounced kick; a dreamy number for wandering minds.
